Everybody is welcome & feel free to share this invitation! **Talks and info:** All details: [https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-may-2026](https://viennajs.org/en/meetup/vienna-js-may-2026) **Timetable:** * 18:00: Gathering, food & drinks * \~18:45 - 19:00: Start of the first talk **Talks:** \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Edouard Maleix ▶️ Context That Compounds: What I Learned Building a Memory Lifecycle for Coding Agents Most teams manage agent context with static rule files — CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, custom YAML checklists, skills, etc. I do too. Then I tracked what actually happened: agents repeated the same mistakes across sessions, rules accumulated without evidence they helped, and review load stayed constant no matter how many rules I added.This talk covers what I learned building and testing a different approach: treating context as a living artifact with a lifecycle — generated from real incidents, curated for gaps, compiled to token budgets, and evaluated before injection. The key insight: context you can't measure is context you can't improve.I'll walk through three concrete problems and the patterns I found to address them: 1. **Attribution** — when an agent opens a PR, you can't tell what it wrote, why, or whether a human reviewed it. Giving agents their own signing keys and git identity changes code review from guessing to auditing. 2. **Memory that persists** — Monday you correct an agent, Tuesday it makes the same mistake. I built a typed diary (episodic, procedural, semantic, reflection entries) that survives across sessions and compiles into token-budget context packs. The difference vs. static rules: rules authored from memory can't compound; entries harvested from incidents can. 3. **Evaluating context, not just code** — SWE-bench tests whether agents can fix bugs. I needed something different: does this context pack actually help the agent avoid known mistakes? I'll show why scenarios harvested from real incidents (20–67% baseline → 95–100% with context) wildly outperform auto-generated ones.The talk is grounded in real workflows, real failures, and real data. The patterns — identity, lifecycle-based memory, context-as-testable-artifact — are applicable regardless of which agent or framework you use. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- 🗣️ Speaker to be announced \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **🗣️Want to give a Talk?** ▶️ [https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk](https://viennajs.org/en/participate/give-a-talk) **Location:** Dynatrace Austria GmbH THE ICON VIENNA ***Tower 24 - 22nd Floor*** Wiedner Gürtel 13, 1100 Vienna When you arrive in the ICON tower, walk straight to the info point and ask for a visitor’s card for Dynatrace (**22nd floor**).

Hold your visitor card against the card reader at the turnstiles, walk through it, and look at the screen on your slide (while entering). Don’t move too close to the gate before using your card, as it might block you. The screen will display a letter (A-D) about which elevator you need to take. You can also check your designated elevator by holding the card under one of the elevator screen panels.

[VIBE CODE WEDNESDAY] is a weekly gathering of people, hosted by weXelerate, where we are building things with AI — and we'd love for you to join us. Here's the idea: everyone has a mile-long to-do list and a bunch of ideas they never get around to. Things that don't get scheduled don't get done. So we made it a thing. Every Wednesday at weXelerate in Vienna, we block off the time and vibe code together. Think of it like your weekly gym session — except instead of lifting weights, you're finally building that thing you've been putting off for months. Two reasons people keep coming back: you actually get stuff done, and you're not alone in the room and meet new people. Someone next to you just found a tool you've never heard of or you get honest feedback on your idea. That kind of casual knowledge sharing is hard to find — and it happens naturally here. From pros to newbies everyone is welcome. No experience required. No pressure. Just show up and build. Wednesdays @ weXelerate, Praterstraße 1, 1020 Vienna

Dear Data Enthusiasts, Join us again on **29th of May** at **A1** to learn about the psychological implications on employees when transforming the data landscape of an organization. In addition, we will finally have a talk about the open source framework Metaxy and how it can help to cut costs of multimodal AI pipelines. A big thanks goes to our co-organizers from the A1 Telekom and our sponsor Cloudera! **A Psychological Autopsy of a Data Transformation** *Dávid Farkas* Five years ago, a small European university decided to build and implement a data strategy from scratch. Greenfield in the truest sense: data governance was an unheard term and in practice it meant local Excel files duplicated across inboxes; "the database" usually referred to whichever spreadsheet someone had emailed most recently. Over four years, we designed and rolled out new systems, established governance structures, hired a team, and delivered real wins. We also watched a significant portion of the work get undone in months once leadership changed. This talk is a psychological autopsy of that transformation — what was planned, what worked, what quietly collapsed, and why. Universities are an unusually honest laboratory for studying data initiatives: decentralized power, competing stakeholder logics, weak formal hierarchies, and ambiguous success metrics make every human dysfunction that exists in corporate environments more visible. Drawing on behavioural science and nearly five years leading this initiative, I'll walk through the recurring failure patterns I see across data and AI projects more broadly — algorithm aversion, NIH syndrome, the gap between executive sponsorship and operational ownership, and the under-recognised role of organisational identity in determining which systems survive a leadership change. The argument is not that technology doesn't matter — it's that the human substrate determines whether any of it sticks. Borrowing Kranzberg: technology is never neutral, and neither are the people implementing it. **Dávid Farkas** is a research psychologist (PhD) and data scientist based in Budapest. He co-founded Principle Zero, which helps companies, NGOs, and researchers take on complex challenges in data strategy, digital and AI transformation, research, product development, and science communication. We bring behavioural science to problems most consultancies treat as purely technical, focusing on the human and organisational factors that determine whether ambitious projects survive contact with reality. Previously he led data science and digitalisation at MOME Budapest, with earlier industry experience applying machine learning. **Optimizing Multimodal AI Pipelines with Metaxy** *Georg Heiler, Hernan Picatto* The AI era has caused a fundamental shift in computing, moving us toward complex multimodal pipelines. However, these new systems are often incredibly wasteful. Right now, small changes to an input can trigger massive recomputations across very expensive processing steps. In this talk, we will explore Metaxy, an open source Python framework built to solve this exact problem. Metaxy provides sample level metadata versioning and acts as the universal glue for incremental data pipelines. We will discuss how its field level provenance allows your pipeline to only recompute what actually changed. If you update an audio file, for example, Metaxy knows to skip downstream face recognition steps that only rely on video. Whether you are a startup stretching your compute budget, an enterprise scaling ML infrastructure, or a researcher in academia, you will learn how to use Metaxy to iterate faster, cut cloud costs, and build highly efficient AI workflows. **Georg Heiler** is a co-founder @Jubust and a Senior data expert at Magenta as well as a ML-ops engineer at ASCII. He is solving challenges with data. His interests include geospatial graphs and time series. Georg transitions the data platform of Magenta to the cloud and is handling large scale multi-modal ML-ops challenges at ASCII. **Hernan Picatto** is a Computer Science PhD candidate at the Vienna University of Technology researching firm-level supply chains and corporate networks using NLP and Common Crawl data. Formerly an engineer at JPMorgan Chase and ZhiZhouKeji, he holds an MA from UCSD. His broad interests span big data, visualization, and time series causality. 🎤🎤 Open Mic We are going to open up the stage after the talks for community announcements.

📖 Time to revisit our classic format and **talk about a great book** again🤩! At our May event, we'll discuss **Vivienne Ming's** “***Robotproof: When Machines Have All The Answers, Build Better People***”. Vivienne is is an American theoretical neuroscientist and artificial intelligence expert, and a self-professed Professional Mad Scientist. Her life and work are both extraordinary, and her latest book provides an actionable framework for rising above the “*the homogenized, vanilla world associated with AI”* (Forbes). There’s lots to mull over, get inspired by, and take home from her writing - so don’t hesitate and join the discussion! Don’t worry if life is too busy to read a whole book: It is absolutely not mandatory. We’ll provide enough information so everyone can learn something and connect insights to their own thinking and experiences. If you want to familiarise yourself with the author’s work, there are lots of podcasts you can listen to, like this one: [https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430](https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/stop-letting-ai-think-for-you-dr-vivienne-ming/id212382281?i=1000758167430) There’ll also be time for **networking and conversation** over drinks and snacks (donations welcome, please bring some cash 😊).
